Count me in if anyone has a picnic.  Are you going to Maxton this fall?  R. John.

We will be there.  Had an issue on the dyno a couple of weeks ago.  Working on the fix this weekend.

[John (Maryland)]

Are your racing in Sept.; what class and vehicle?

[wolcottjl]

Right now we will be running a G/MMP - I am hoping to add a bike to the garage soon.

I've been wondering where you were at on the Stude project, keep at it.

We have been working but the FC cage and front end went slow and another car came into the shop for work.  We are progressing; car is coming along well; Steve Kramer did a beautiful job on the cage (a couple more pictures will follow showing all piping; we are trying to get to Maxton by Spring.

Hello.  It was also a pleasure meeting up with Venable's Racing!   

We got home about 12:30.

I like the idea of getting those old girls finished by April - Studebaker Row.  We'll have to get GH and some of the others to Maxton for a Stude gathering of the minds(??). 

You are far ahead of me, but April is a great target.

I saw the Vicky C motor go though, sounded great!

Every component from Slick Street Stuff had to be modified at considerable cost and time but is now strong, installed, and aligned. The brakes are Strange and the rotor fixtures had to be custom ordered.
